quote - AI super intelligence is too dangerous, narrow AI can give us most of what we need - Roman Yampolskiy - (see below) - I don’t think it’s possible to indefinitely control superintelligence. - By definition, it’s smarter than you: - It learns faster, - it acts faster, - it will change faster. - You will have malevolent actors modifying it. - We have no precedent of lower capability agents indefinitely staying in charge of more capable agents. - Until some company or scientist says - ‘Here’s the proof! We can definitely have a safety mechanism that can scale to any level of intelligence,’ - I don’t think we should be developing those general superintelligences. - We can get most of the benefits we want from narrow AI, - systems designed for specific tasks: - develop a drug, - drive a car. - They don’t have to be smarter than the smartest of us combined.

// - Comment - Roman Yampolskiy is right. The fact that the industry is pushing ahead full speed with b developing AGI, effectively the same as the AI superintelligence Roman Yampolskiy is referring to - shows the most dangerous pathology of neo capitalism and Technofeudalism, profit over everything else - This feature is a major driver of progress traps

Intelligence checks is very concerning here as it suggests pretty much what has already been leaked, that the US is running complex autonomous screening of all of this data all the time. This also opens up the possibility for discriminatory algorithms since most of these are probably rooted in machine learning techniques and the criminal justice system in the US today tends to be fairly biased towards certain groups of people to begin with.
